You always feel safe in Daddy’s arms. Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you. A Daddy carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And […]
